The Experience

Would there be a kind of lazy guy who likes to lounge around in the caressing sun, swim in a warm freshwater lake, maybe go fishing in the evenings, and who hates loud parties, who would sacrifice a month or two of his life to take care of a holiday home in Balatonszemes, Hungary, right on the shores of the magnificent Lake Balaton? The accommodation would be in a wooden house, which also has a small shower and cooking facilities and internet.

I actually ended up doing around 1 month at the host's other listing on the Balaton, then 2 months at the hostel in Budapest. It's hard to complain about either opportunity with the amount of work at each. At the Balaton, it was essentially just watering the plants daily and occasionally checking in guests. At the hostel, it's usually less than 2h/day of cleaning.

The owner is great, and I'm glad I did the less common opportunity first to be able to connect with him. The receptionist at the hostel isn't too warm, but not a bad guy. Get the month long Budapest or Hungary transit pass & explore

My experience at the hostel was really great. I spent 3 weeks,and from the first day the tasks were clear and precise. Nothing more is asked for than what is written. The homework is quiete easy,anyone can do it. In addition,you have a lot of free time. I think it's one of the most advantageous things compared to many others projects. The hostel is like a very calm and quiet house,you will love taking care of it and dedicating time to it. In addition,the owner is always available and ready to help you in case of need. What better to ask for? It was my first experience and it was beautiful

I really enjoyed the experience. The workload and tasks were very manageable, which gave me plenty of time to enjoy the city. The hostel is quite simple, but it has everything necessary. I liked it and hope to return someday.

I sped the last month on the hostel. Is a nice place to be, close to bus and trams lines, you can explore the beautiful budapest on your days free or even during the week days, since the job only requires 2 hours of work a day.
The work is pretty basic, cleanning, puting trash away and keep the kitchen organizazed.
The place is quite small, so if you are a organized person and know how to do cleaning, you're going to be able to do it fast and good.
The hostes lets you free, provides the necessary materiais. I rigthly recomend the hostel as a place to be a volunteer.

I had a great experience at the hostel. The place was comfortable, and the manager really values quietness, which made it easy to relax. Tasks were simple and only took about 2 hours a day, with everything provided to complete them smoothly. The environment was super chill, no pressure at all, and I had full freedom to come and go. Overall, an easy and enjoyable stay.
